Who Knew???

Who knew the process of losing 30lbs would be so enlightening? Since I found Take Shape For Life my life has changed drastically. Yes, I've lost 30lbs and still losing, but it's way more than that. I have found what truly brings me joy and that makes getting up everyday a whole lot easier. Do you know what I mean? Seriously, I don't have to think about how I'm going to work today, I just jump in and share my experience and connect with real people that have real struggles. I don't have all the answers but I do offer hope. Especially for those who have tried everything. It's not always easy. In fact at times it can be frustrating, but you don't have to do it alone and I share the frustration with you. Life is good....no....It's GREAT!

Who, What and Why

Hi! My name is Teresa Rodden and I am a Certified Health Coach with Take Shape For Life.

In the last few years I have struggled with my weight and although I exercised regularly, I could not lose it. We are not talking a couple of pounds. I put on over 30 pounds in just one short year and kept it on for another. Through some hard work and honest reflection I discovered my life was not fulfilling and I believe that to be a major cause of weight retention. I started taking on challenges, really stretching myself in all areas and paying attention to what brought me joy. I discovered that helping others realize, develop or even learn how to dream is what makes me feel ALIVE. You see a lot of us think if we can just lose 10, 20, 50, 70, 200lbs that everything would then fall into place. I would like you to consider this - Realize and move toward your dreams and goals and losing weight will be a whole lot easier. I can help you.

Last year I had started the wheels in motion to begin my journey as an all around Wellness Coach. I ordered my Personal Training text and workbooks, started research on self improvement and development, contacted the county about transforming my two car garage into a Wellness Studio, organized and lead a "Best Life" weight loss group and so much more. Well, I was missing what I felt was a key element. A weight loss program that was healthy, simple, workable and affordable. The last thing I wanted to do was push products on my clients. Along came Take Shape For Life nearly a year later. It's super simple, actually it's "goof-proof", it's cost neutral, the client only buys the food they need. I don't sell anything. I simply coach. What I love to do.

I hope something you have read connected with you or maybe brought to mind a friend or family member that I could help.

Join me on my journey to Optimal Health!
